You've Got Mail, reviewed: "And really, email does seem to be a lot of what this movie is about. Or that Moment of email. Here was something new we hadn't figured out yet, hadn't discussed the ramifications of in conferences yet, because we were too busy doing the damn thing. We were still in love with email and no one had yet developed careers out of solving the problem of it. There were no listicles."

Once, I fell in love with someone on the Internet on purpose, and he stole a copy of this DVD from a gas station in the process of driving from Bolinas, California to Boston, Massachusetts to meet for a little while before we broke up on schedule, and it came with a Mother's Day card attached, and we tried to watch it but couldn't get through the opening credits.
I liked the review, and may try to watch it again, if it is available Instantly through Netflix.
I really liked that.

I'll watch a black gay remake.
“You think that machine is your friend but it isn’t,†the boyfriend-Meg-Ryan-doesn’t-love says. He works at The Observer or something like it— in a time where everyone in the city says things like, “Saw that article!†and we knew what they meant, even without a link (and even without meta-enabling). He’s in love with his typewriters (plural) and thinks VCRs are oxymoronic and is presented in a way that makes us hope very much that all of our boyfriends are Tom Hankses and not Greg Kinnears,
The Kinnear character was based on Ron Rosenbaum, according to Ron Rosenbaum.

Didn't mean to do that twice…
Best thing about that movie is that Cafe Lalo still has screencaps hung on its façade.
